Your land is really coming together now, love the chicken coop! I'm sure the chickens will settle in nicely.

Brilliant job pal looking good well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐓🐓🐓

Just had another observation….I notice you cleverly hinged one side of the roof so it opens, but I also observed this leaves the ridge line exposed to rain entry, leakage and perhaps rot eventually. If this hasn't occurred to you already, you could cover this exposed area with a flexible 'ridge cap' made of plastic or perhaps rubber – say from an old inner tube. In rural areas like yours, lots of tractors, lots of tractor tyres, so lots of old inner tubes, potentially…..maybe glue it down with sikaflex??
But whatever, ridge cap is a must…. Cheers! 🙂

Hey, Dom, sorry didn't get to this sooner, but looking at your intended 'chicken run' – the wire fenced area at the base of one of the ramps, I think you will find the chickens will get over this fence far too easily. Think you said the wire was 1.5m high? Even with clipped wings a determined chook can clear a 1.5m fence. Especially as in your 'stick on ground diagram' the fence appears to be at one point very close to the top of the exit ramp from the chicken house…. they will just launch over that and be off….. Sorry to be a drag, but you guys have clearly not owned chooks before! lol. They are freaking Houdinis! Give 'em an inch…. The fence probably needs at least 6-8' clearance away from the top of the ramp, to avoid this.
Also, getting them back into the chicken house of an evening can be fraught – especially if they don't want to go in – or if you need to go out and need to lock them up early, once they've been let out….. they really are VERY stupid, and are amost impossible to 'herd' in any sort of order. You no doubt know it's difficult to herd cats? Well, chickens are morons, compared to cats, or even sheep! So it might be a good idea to design a sort of 'catchment area', like a funnel of sorts, or an angle in the fence, that leads to the gate into the wire pen, because sure as shit they won't want to go up the ramp on the other side…! And will run past the gate in the fence rather than turn and go into the pen…. They really are stupid, and easily rattled. tie up the dog and cat before you attempt to herd chickens. Trust me! lol
In the past, when we've had free-ranging chickens, we've always engineered an angle in the fence, right next to the gate into the pen, so someone can stand "near" the gate to stop the ones inside escaping again, and someone else can then 'herd' the ones outside up towards the gate. You also need 'arm extensions' – like long sticks. Chickens really are daft….as you will soon discover!! Ideally, only feed them grain or soft greens "inside" the wire pen. This will get them used to being fed, at a certain time of day, inside the pen (i.e. dusk) and so they will have an incentive to enter, and some feed to occupy them while the stragglers join them. With only 4 chickens, this might not be too difficult, but if you get that one, mad, lunatic chicken….. lol Just promise to video that for us all, will you..?? lol 🙂

Perhaps more ventilation Dom? Or it will be fried eggs and roast chicken come Summer !
Great vlog guys. Thanks for sharing.

Will you cover the chicken coup in a waterproof roofing?. Great job by the way ☺️🙏

Dom — your chicken house is excellent! I gather you will place the brooder box next to the van so you can plug in an electrical warming plate to keep the chicks warm especially at night since they are from incubated eggs. If you have not found Bobblehead Homestead in your YouTube travels, he is an excellent source of chicken information from incubating eggs to broodie hens to pullets — to layers :o)

Well done Dom, that chicken coop looks amazing 👍💯

looking fabulous

Well done you once again!!!!!!! Can’t wait to get back, and come see you and look at all your wonderful structures and progress you’ve made.😊😊😊😘

You can put sand on the floor of the coop and just clean it like a kitty box, easily. I got that idea from someone else and it does work well. I'm glad to see the faults in the build; we aren't all master carpenters, are we ? LOL. And the chicks won't mind it, anyway. As others stated, ventilation is important ! You don't ant to cook you chicks in there. Cold doesn't bother them near as much as heat does. Nice video; thanks for sharing.

Cool

Love the chicken house, my ex Mum in law had chickens geese goats on their land I helped her out a lot, fresh eggs were beautiful. Look forward to seeing the chicks. 😃

Nicely built! Is it gonna stay dry without roofing felt?

That is one great looking chicken coup , are you going to put any roosting bars in side ?

Is this just a scale model of what your tiny house will be?

How do you get in it to clean properly? Ah! Now I have my answer.
